shower tray

I’ve had a shower tray bedded down onto a sand-cement mixture, which is laid directly on marine plywood. I’ve noticed a small gap forming between the sand-cement layer and the plywood base. The tray itself feels solid and stable when I stand on it, so there doesn’t seem to be any immediate...

I’m planning to connect a shower trap to the waste pipes for a new shower tray. The waste outlet is located towards the wall in the center, so the waste pipes will need a 90-degree bend. I’ll need to make a cut near the existing Tee, but I’m concerned that if I don’t get it right the first time...

I’m laying down a 1200 x 760 stone resin on a floor that isn’t level. Manufacture instructions recommend a cement mix or silicone. Silicone seems like the simpler option but can this be used to level a shower tray? Or would a sand cement mix be better for this?

The waste hole for my shower tray is located in the middle, but the existing waste pipe is not aligned with it. Should I route the waste pipe under the floor to match the position of the waste hole, or is it possible to reroute it above the floor, given that the tray will be installed on a...

I am currently doing a bathroom renovation and decided on fitting a Merlyn Level 25 stone resin shower tray. In the instructions, the first thing they get you to do is check that there isn't an excessive bow on all four sides. They do this by getting you to prop up the tray on four blocks of...

Hi, I have just poured some Mapei Ultraplan 3240 self leveller down to level the floor prior to fitting a shower tray. It says that it is walkable after 4-5 hours, does that mean I can install the shower tray after 4-5 hours or do I have to wait for the leveller fully cure first? Thank you!

I have received a stone resin shower tray and as best as I can measure, one corner is 3 mm lower than the other three (across the top of the tray edge) and I don’t know whether this is an issue or not? Are these things normally completely flat, or is it the norm that they are out of flatness by...

Recently been looking at buying a new shower tray, but note that most now have a smooth surface to stand on whereas my previous tray was rippled. My question relates to people’s experiences of these modern trays, in particular with regard to whether they are found to be dangerously slippy, or...
